{"title":"THE CHALLENGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS","authors":"Obert, J.

Nowhere are these characteristics more dramatically demonstrated than in research on mind/matter interactions and remote perception, from which have been compounded large bodies of empirical evidence, but little insight regarding viable theoretical models or profitable strategies for superior experiments. The purpose of this paper is to review some of that evidence, and to attempt to glean therefrom a productive model to guide future studies. The essence of this modular model is to set aside the common presumption that anomalous mind/matter effects are achieved by direct attention of the conscious mind to the observable physical processes addressed. Rather, an alternative is proposed wherein unconscious mind and intangible physical mechanisms are invoked to achieve anomalous acquisition of mental information about, or anomalous mental influence upon, otherwise inaccessible material processes. Implications for more effective experiments include subtler feedback schemes that facilitate submission of conscious intention to unconscious mental processing, physical target systems that provide a richness of intangible potentialities, operators who are amenable to such interactions, and an environmental ambience that supports the composite strategy. Theoretical requisites include better understanding of the information dialogue between conscious and unconscious aspects of mind, more pragmatic formulations of the relations between tangible and intangible physical processes, and, most importantly, cogent representation of the merging of mental and material dimensions into indistinguishability at their deepest levels.","PeriodicalId":152249,"journal":{"name":"Dialogues on Concsiousness","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122197532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
